API.AI “Small Talk” is now Open! Why is it a Really Big Deal?

Here at BotCube we’ve built a lot of bots during the last year using both api.ai and wit.ai as NLP providers. Most of the time we’ve been choosing api.ai because of one reason — module called “Small Talk”. It allows you to easily import a lot of predefined answers for simple questions and phrases like “Hi!“, “How are you?“, “Are you robot?“, “What’s your hobby?“, “How old are you?” and many-many more (about one hundred actually).

A week ago guys from api.ai made their Small Talk NLP module open and in this article our I’m going to tell you why it’s a really big deal for all the bot builders. The article was also just featured on Chatbots Magazine.
